That’s not grammatically correct in my opinion. I’d say “je n’aime autant pas” ou “je ne préférerais pas” but it doesn’t sound exactly like it should.

- jraph 5y ago“je n’aime autant pas” sounds weird. “je ne préférerais pas” is correct but I agree it does not have the same feeling as "I'd prefer not to". I suspect "I'd prefer not to" is somewhat difficult to translate in French. This is probably because in English, "not to" without repeating the verb / action feels natural but in French it would feel like something is missing. You could try "Je préfèrerais ne pas faire ça" but that does not sound great either. I would probably go for "Ça ne m'arrange pas" ("It isn't convenient for me").
- Juliate 5y ago"Je préfererais pas" is valid (and matches the contraction of "I'd prefer not to"), although a bit less formal. Almost equivalent to "Je préfererais ne pas (le faire)" is valid too in everyday speak. And slightly different from "Je ne préfererais pas".
- remram 5y ago"je ne préférerais pas" is "I would not prefer to" not "I would prefer not to" "je n'aime autant pas" is "I might as well not"
